A prerequisite to participating in any course includes the completion of a PADI Medical Statement, which includes the medical questionnaire section. If you answer YES to any of the medical condition questions, you will need to consult with your physician to get their approval and signed authorization to dive. Please bring the signed form to present to us on your first day.

This basic certification is good for life and qualifies you to dive in conditions similar to those you have been trained in. Begin by purchasing and completing the PADI E-learning program online. (The program costs is $174.00, separate from our course price)

Then on island you will have a quick review of the academics followed by pool sessions learning the skills required to dive. This is generally completed in a day. The next 2 days you are out on the dive boat practicing those skills with your instructor in open water and enjoying diving at the same time.
